Has anyone written a PostScript interpreter dumper?  By this I
mean a utility that will recursively search through all of the
dictionaries it finds and prettyprint the contents of the
entire machine.  It should probably have some heuristics to
backtrack from system objects to their name to improve
readability.  I hope to have my own printer at home sometime
this year and have the ambition to write such a beast, but I
don't want to reinvent the wheel if someone else has started
such work.  Perhaps someone has written a simple minded version
that I can beef up?  Yeah, I know about "somedict { == == }
forall" :-)!
